Transforming Indian Offline Retail and Customer Engagement Using AI
In the past few years, all the design efforts from smartphone companies have been focused on increasing the screen-to-body ratio of smartphones. We have seen various innovations in the past two years including the notched displays, punch-hole style cutout displays which we first got to see in Honor View 20 and then on Samsung Galaxy A8 and Galaxy S10. Lately, we have also been witnessing the pop-up style selfie camera on a lot of flagship devices, with the latest example being the OnePlus 7 Pro. The companies have also experimented with flipping and slider cameras as well. However, according to this most recent news, we might be getting to see an innovation from Oppo and Xiaomi, which will include a selfie camera housed under a fully functional display. Here is what we know about this new tech from Xiaomi and Oppo as of now.

Xiaomi and Oppo New In-Display Selfie Camera Details
Unlike the other selfie camera designs like the pop-up mechanism or the punch-hole style cutout, there is nothing of that sort in Oppo’s latest prototype. On taking a look at the newest upload on Oppo’s official Twitter account we a see a device with a selfie camera which is entirely hidden under the display and does its job from beneath the surface. In the past, Oppo has tried its hand on both the slider mechanism camera through the Find X and with the side pivoted slider mechanism through the Oppo Reno.
OPPO’s VP Brian Shen has also taken on Weibo to post the same prototype video of this new camera technology. However, over there, the executive has also said that the quality of images on the under-display selfie camera cannot be as good as the cameras on the outside. To this, he added, “However, the realization of new technology is developed to perfection.” Even though Oppo has teased this new technology in full-fledged form, there is no news about whether or not Oppo plans on releasing a phone with this tech any time soon.
